We have had the keys for just over a week and are now beginning to make a plan. We have been in touch with the Conservation officer, who has given us permission to clear The Hall of all the old 1980s partitions.

We hope to have The Hall clear by mid-February ready to sandblast the walls to uncover the lovely Victorian brickwork.

In March we plan to have drawings finished for the replacement kitchen, toilets and stage for formal building work to begin in April.

If you're a designer, architect, director or musician or simply want to contribute your idea of how the space should be redesigned, please get in touch and we will show you around.
